Danny Lectro Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That ruddy brown would actually make a good rust base to paint over salting makes it easy! I don't know yet if I will be going with rust on this one. It will definitely be banged up and dirty, but right now I think the people using it would be really careful to keep it in good working order, like by keeping rust from taking hold, since cars and replacement parts for them would be really scarce. Of course, that can change, as I see more of the model take shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Danny, you obviously have a narrative going on about how you see your build fitting in to the SQUAD/CARAVAN, excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberDeath322 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Here are my first ever attempts at weathering. I used a rust and light brown mix as well as a gloss black wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymodeler Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The weathering is looking pretty good Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yeah, I like it too, it almost looks like the splattered on there some of the camo colors, which would make sense too, in particular if the engine is going to be exposed.

rustymodeler Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nice counting there, Joe. Wow, I still can't believe it. Lots of folks have come over from the YOUTUBE community to join us here . . . Its nice to see more youngsters are getting into the hobby since it fizzled out there for a while, and you cant buy models in wal mart and k mart any more. With the help of the internet it helps kids and adults realize what they are missing out on and gets them started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Neal, I copied the pictures, boy, I really like how this build came together. Some basic elements and you make the whole thing spark with all the right TZH flavors! Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Jerred, that's been my goal for a long time, to keep reaching out to the youngsters out there so that they can see how much fun a hobby like building models can still be!

Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 LOL, you've got the TZH bug, buddy. Yeah, it's good to take a little break, which is exactly what I am doing too after SNIPER gets done, and then come back for another round. That's how the blood keeps pumping! Yes, Kill the Zombies, Kill the Zombies, Ooh-Aah! Ooh-Aah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Folks, one thing I want to bring up for those folks heading into a second round of builds, remember that you don't want to get burned out. You might want to take a little rest and do something else for a while. Remember that we still have like 8 more months to go. We need the troops fresh and ready! The other thing I wanted to mention is that, again, if you are looking for ideas and inspiration, I hope you look no further than some of the models here.

Well, i for one am mixing it up with other builds i have on the go,,i tend to get bored working on 1 model at a time,,but because i have never done anything like this kinda build ,,it's proving to be fun and relaxing,,without having to worry about fit and finish,,it's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtoy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I LOVE THIS IDEA! This is a great thread i'm in. One will be a project I already had planned, a C5 Vette. After that I might also build either a Hilux or a Supra. I might even try to build some sort of dark militant future car, Kinda looks like a car but very military looking and future techie.
